I got scared there when it was announced that negotiations fell through and she was leaving. She's one of the only few good things left

All AboutSaturday Night Live

By Kristen Baldwin Kristen Baldwin

Kristen Baldwin is a staff editor for EWOkay, honestly, Maya Rudolph has got to stop toying with our emotions. After telling NBC on Sunday (Sept. 23) that she would not be returning to Saturday Night Live — which was a sudden change of heart, as all involved expected her to return — the woman behind the best Oprah impression on earth has now decided she will be back after all. Seriously. For real.

In a statement released to NBC, the fickle comedianne tells her now completely flummoxed — but no doubt relieved — fans: ''It was an agonizing decision, but ultimately, I feel I made the best choice both as a mother and as an actress. I couldn’t be happier to be returning to SNL.''

Great news. See you this Saturday, Maya. Now, we’re going to go lie down.

I'm glad. There really aren't many reasons to watch the show besides her these days.

Wow, I didn't realize how popular she was. I like her and all, but DAMN! She must have gotten a good deal.

WHO KNEW?

She is one of the show's best stars. She's hilarious. Without her, there would only be 2 females and the show needs to hold onto the stars they have bc this season has one of the smallest cast in years.
